An aspirant for the position of National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Awentami Afoko has described his vetting as fair and rigorous.
Speaking to journalists after the session at the party’s Greater Accra Regional headquarters in Kokomlemle, Afoko said the process involved frank discussions with a high-calibre committee.
“The process, I believe, was fair. It was firm. And, in fact, there was a lot of frank discussion, and the calibre of the committee is not small,” he said.
“The way they pose certain questions that even I had not anticipated, some of them, I definitely am going to include them in my strategy planning for the party going to 2028. Trust me, the committee has been [of] good calibre,” he added.
The vetting forms part of the NPP’s internal processes ahead of its national elections as the party prepares for the 2028 general elections.
Afoko declined to disclose the specific questions put to him, citing a confidentiality agreement he signed before the session began.
“I signed a document before they started questioning me, I signed a confidentiality document. I cannot talk about it. Especially when it is going to be strategy, especially when we are going to use that strategy to try to get into power in 2028. So forgive me if I don’t go into that,” he stated.
The former NPP Chairman expressed confidence in his performance, rating his chances of advancing as good.
“I didn’t think there was anything that I couldn’t answer, and I had no indication that anybody was dissatisfied with my answers. So my chances I rate them as good,” Afoko said.
On the progress of his campaign, the aspirant noted that he had already covered several regions and would continue nationwide efforts after the vetting.
“I know that the campaign is going well. I have done so far I have done quite a few regions. And after today, I am setting off to continue campaigning around the country,” he added.
